Another terrible race motivated attack.

1. That infographic is the same one stormfront uses to recruit. The internet really is quite a small place after all. It's racist and misleading. Lies, damned lies, and statistics.

2. I think I was misconstrued. The civil war was the death throes of a way of life. Slavery was the center piece of that life, as Ironside pointed out with his google fu. However, in April 1865, it wasn't just that slavery that was destroyed. Post WWII that destruction was captured in academia for the first time and that is when you begin to see the use of the battle flag again. The modern use of the battle flag comes out of that lost cuasism of post war America. Using civil war era quotes to explain why the battle flag came back into prominence is not the way to go. The modern use of the battle flag is tied to the post war era and integration more than it is Antietam.

The idea you can change a few street names and some how "denazify" the feeling for a man like Robert E Lee makes me fear for this forums critical thinking skills. It is akin to the people flying the battle telling a black guy to get over slavery and segregation. You're just on the otherside.

Panzer is right. The standard liberal defense of high crime rates is quite frankly wrong and the fact it keeps getting parrotted is just ignorance. I think there are other reasons for the disparity and don't share his kind of social nihilism but to sit here and howl about how it's all about class is kind of uniquely European.
